Beyond the Horizon: Bridging the translational gap in cancer research
Thursday 25 November 09.20am-5.15pm (virtual)
One of the biggest challenges to progress in cancer research is to develop approaches that can be translated to the clinic and speed up the process of turning exciting discoveries into effective therapies.
In this one-day virtual event, you can hear from a range of speakers about what can help address these challenges, and how we can work together to achieve greater impact and improved patient benefit.
